Road Record: 4-0-1

The 1990 Ohio State Buckeyes finished 7-4-1. They scored a combined 349 points (29.1 ppg), while allowing 251 (20.9 ppg). OSU spent nine weeks ranked, climbing as high as 15th in the country, though the season-ending Liberty Bowl loss to Air Force knocked them out of the Top-25. As of February 2024, the Air Force loss was the last time Ohio State lost to a non-Power Five conference team. Ohio State had a five game winning streak in conference, highlighted by a road win over sixth-ranked Iowa in November. The season ended on a somber note, with consecutive losses to Michigan and the bowl opponent – a common occurrence in the John Cooper era.
